Hello, I have this motor https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-3530-1150kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html . What propeller would you recommend for me if the plane weighs about 800- 1000g?
Which propeller to use?

I does depend to a degree on the type of plane and whether a 3 or 4s but this site recommend between a 10x4.7 and a 9x5 for a similar motor.
The really important figure is the max amps (24A) the motor can withstand. You need a watt meter to check that.
It is an important piece of kit if you want to be 'kind' to you motor, ESC and battery. None of them take kindly to being significantly over loaded.

That motor can handle a 4S battery as can most 35mm can motors. You have to be careful with prop recomendations because they often only list sizes for 4S and 3S can use a larger diameter prop. quorneng is right in all the above recomendations. Get two and try a 9X6 and the 10X4.7. The motor should be hot but not so hot you can't touch it.
